Bengaluru News Live Updates Today: In the wake of Nipah virus outbreak in Kerala, the Karnataka government Wednesday directed officials of Dakshina Kannada and districts bordering the neighbouring state to strengthen fever surveillance. The government said that those with fever, who have a travel history to Kozhikode and have come in direct contact with a person who tested positive for Nipah, should be considered as potentially vulnerable to the infection.
Meanwhile, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah Wednesday maintained that Karnataka was not in a position to release Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu, saying that the state was exploring a legal route against the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee’s (CWRC) recommendation to release 5,000 cusecs of water to the neighbouring state for 15 days starting September 13. Karnataka has released 37.7 TMC from Krishnarajasagar (KRS) dam till September 11 to Tamil Nadu against a requirement of 99 TMC, due to low reservoir levels.
Here’s a weather update: Parts of Bengaluru are likely to witness generally cloudy skies along with light rains on Thursday, according to Bengaluru Meteorological Centre. Strong surface winds are likely to prevail in some areas for the next 24 hours, the forecast stated. The maximum and minimum temperatures are very likely to be around 30 and 20 degrees Celsius respectively.
